SWEET POTATO STORAGE . HOUSE AT COUNTY HOME Do you have trouble keeping sweet potatoes? Of course you do if you keep them in eartbern hills. Besides causing you to lose on an average 50 per cent of your potatoes, the earthern hill method requires a lot of extra and unpleasant work every year. Call by the County Home with in the next few days and have Mr. Brown show you the sweet potatoe storage house recently built there. Then go home and do likewise and thus end your troubles in keeping sweet potatoes. As to the cost of building it will depend upon the size, and also in?a large degree to your ability to look after the building of it yourself. On the average it should n't cost more than 60 cents per bushel of storage capacity. And it will pay for itself in one to three years. A blue print of any size house you may desire, ujjth bill of material needed, may be had free for the asking. Build a potato house, raise enough potatoes to last you the year round, (and a few extra for sale) and you will have made quite a step forward in solving the boll weevil problem. H. L.

You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and yon appear years younger.

Storrow, Fuel Administrator of Massachu setts during the War and special coal consignee during the present coal shortage, has issued a timely warning against drawing on the meagre coal stocks until absolutely necessary. Mr. Storrow makes the following suggestions, among others: "Don't barn a pound of coal this month or in October.'* "Cook and heat water for your household with a kero sene store or gas stove. Boy a portable kerosene heater. It is handy. It is cheap. It can be moved easily from room to room. It will save coal and money. It will perhaps keep yon oat oftheeoal line next winter." "Cooking by kerosene stove is cheaper than eoaL It is more comfortable during there warm days. "Kerosene can be bought anywhere. Kerosene stoves mod heaters can be bought today at any hardware or probably any house furnishing store or general conn try store in the state." The coal shortage is already causing much incon venience. How much actual suffering and hardship it will cause next winter no one can say. Certainly, the , expedient dung to do is to save every bit of coal you * now have by cooking and heating with other fuels. Tens of thousands of families are already conserving coal by burning Aladdin Security Oil?the perfect kerosene. If you need a cookstove or heater look at the improved Perfection line.
